About this listen

Why do we have to wear our wealth? The sisters figure out where the community pressure to always look good comes from - where people save up just to spend on luxury items. “Does that bag now quantify you?” Elaine asks. After 20 years of working hard, they discuss how they treat themselves to items such as a long longed-for Chanel handbag, with their kids asking, mum why do you look so happy – it’s only a bag. “Do you know what this is?” she quips back. The sisters talk about working hard to give their children what they need while maintaining work life balance. And having the will to walk away from opportunities that don’t serve us – like a job at Downing Street. Rachel set her boundaries, and her employer met them. And they reflect on how they manage their careers with being mums. Can they have it all? “When they go to school… that is not just their experience, it's ours.” Follow on Instagram: @powersisterspodcast Power Sisters is a Whistledown podcast.
